Tomatillos, lots of garlic and spicy jalapenos charred under the broiler give this salsa a rich, earthy flavor. If you like your salsa very hot, added roasted Jamaican scotch bonnets instead of the jalapeno.

1
Preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange the whole cloves of garlic, tomatillos, and jalapenos on a baking sheet. Place under the broiler, and cook for a few minutes. Remove garlic cloves first, as soon as they are toasted, to avoid developing a bitter flavor. Continue to roast jalapenos and tomatillos until evenly charred, turning occasionally. Set aside to cool. Don't remove the charred parts of the tomatillos or the peppers. They add a really nice flavor.

Easy Pizza Fondue
This is one of my kids' favorite meals, and it's incredibly simple and quick. You can add a little beef bouillon for a beefier taste. Serve with French bread or breadsticks. Dip bread directly into the pot or ladle into bowls to serve.
Southern Corn Pone Bread
This corn pone recipe is a bona fide Southern tradition. It is unsweetened, baked in a cast iron skillet, and tastes just like what Grandma used to make!
Apricot Jam
This homemade apricot jam is not only fun to make, but it is also very delicious. I love to save money, especially with my big family. So making my own jams and jellies is a favorite hobby of mine. There's nothing like your own fresh jam on toasted bread!
